Personal and Ministry Background
Bobot encountered the Lord when life for him was so desperate and hopeless. His spiritual quest begun with this question, “Lord, if you really exist, then give me a job that I support my siblings who are still in college”. He believe that his work in an oil manufacturing plant in Cagayan de Oro City in 1986 was God-given. A certain Nav alumna who was their laboratory technician shared her faith to him. In January 1986, he entrusted his life completely to God.
Jean became Christian when she was in college at Ateneo de Cagayan (Xavier University) in 1983 through the Navigators. She is a teacher by profession.
They knew each other and became friends in the Navigator fellowship. Consequently, they became deeply involved actively both in students and professional ministry. Their deep involvement in the ministry helps them to know God deeper. It was on that context that God led them to be committed to each other. Bobot’s resignation from job to join the Navigator National Trainee Program in a Muslim region of Mindanao in 1990 was an indication. Jean has been influencing students and officemates through her faith and life of genuine witness to Christ. She has been fruitful both in her personal and spiritual life.
Bobot and Jean were married in 1991, after Bobot’s one year stint in the seminary and FOCUS ministry.
After several years of prayer and consideration, in 1998, with their two kids they decided to embark into full-time work to which their first assignment was in Davao City. Both of them enjoy working full-time. Sharing the gospel to both mainstream Catholics and FOCUS students in Davao was very exciting for them. Their ultimate desire is to join with other missionaries in bringing and sharing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the FOCUS community in (Indonesia) the 10/40 window.
After five years of reaching out to the lost in Davao City, Bobot and Jean, with their three kids (Leonille Jean, 13 years old, Lenille Jean Grace, 12 years old, and Jeanill Immanuelle, 6 years old) are now helping the Philippine Navigator Leadership in leading and reviving the ministry in Metro Manila. Though busy in the ministry, Bobot and Jean did not lose sight of the 10/40 windows. They are hopeful for God to send them one day to Indonesia.
